all right. sorry, we don't have that. what he said if the 1994 or 200 p 3-version of mitt romney were voting for president, i may have voted for him. what's your response to that? it's got to be a big blow -- as being a business man to say that. >> yeah, i don't think many of us thought that he was going to be endorsing a republican anytime soon. we can't even get a decent sized coke to drink in new york city anymore. i don't think his sort of sense of philosophy really is republican much at all. >> one final question i want to squeeze this in as i told our viewers i would. can mitt romney win this without winning ohio? >> i think he's going to win ohio and i don't know if i can tell you the absolute answer about the electoral math. i have been saying we need to be more competitive in the west coast and new england because we're not competitive there. it makes the map much more difficult for us. i think we're going to win ohio. been there three times and going back on sunday. what i sense is a lot of momentum left over fr

obama, i think, is just misreading the polls entirely. the latest polling shows that -- i think ken is right. when global warming becomes local that the public becomes concerned about it. that's why the polls in the last two years have shown the public is increasingly concerned and this is particularly true of independent voters also. they are very concerned about their local pollution but also the extreme weather that they've been seeing. who could miss $14 billion extreme weather disasters in this country last year and over $7 this year. everyone sees the weather is going crazy and it's affecting them. it's not going to be affecting distant people in a distant land a distant time from now. it's happening here and now. >> suarez: joseph romm, kenneth green, gentlemen, thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. g onur reporting on theseup issues on our "coping with climate change" page on our web site. take a look. >> ifill: and we turn to the final days of the presidential contest. among the key states in both campaigns' sights is wisco
